I wish them the very best as they take care of the bilateral relationship between Kenya and China which so far is very good partnership given that the Chinese Government and the Kenya Government have been working very well together, especially now that the Expressway has been opened. We will always be grateful for the great things that are happening here. I know that there is also the fact that this House has been a friend of the Embassy.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am not a Member of the Committee, but I wish to congratulate her on a good and comprehensive report. I am encouraged we are getting reports back in the House. It is a good sign.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I may have the right of reply but I will let that pass. I do not want to be in trouble now that you have already rested the case. Back to the Petition and its content, I support and I am thankful to the team for the good job. Mr. Mugo spoke to me on the campaign trail.

Disabilities (PWDs) and other vulnerable groups such as women and the youth is discouraging. As much as we think that devolution is working, it must work for everybody, not just the able-bodied. To Mr. Mugo, Uncle Abdullahi and other PWDs, I would like to assure them that when we come back after elections, because some of us will be joining the Lower House, those of you who will be here, please, make sure that you do as required under Article 96, which mandates this House to protect counties and their governments. Protection of counties is not just the governments alone. ...
